{"product_id":"monte-cassino-jeffrey-plowman-9781526718938","title":"Monte Cassino: Amoured Forces in the Battle for the Gustav Line","description":"The battles fought between the Allied armies and the German Wehrmacht at Monte Cassino in 1944 were key episodes in the protracted Italian campaign, and the eventual Allied victory was a decisive step in the wider war to liberate Europe from German occupation. Much has been written about Cassino, but few books have chosen to tell the story through photographs - to give a visual insight into the fighting and the forces involved, the conditions in which they fought, and the landscape around the Monte Cassino abbey which became a battlefield. That is why Jeffrey Plowman's photographic history is of such value. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUsing almost 200 wartime images, many of which have not been published before, he gives a graphic impression of the realities of the fighting as it was experienced by the troops on the ground. He focuses on the tanks - the array of armored vehicles deployed by both sides which played a critical role. This aspect of Cassino has rarely been covered in such detail and in such a vivid way. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book will be of special interest to modelers and historians of armored warfare, but it will also appeal to readers who have a more general interest in the Italian campaign.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeffrey Plowman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1526718936\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781526718938\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pen \u0026amp; Sword Military\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/21\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.60h x 7.50w x 0.50d","brand":"Jeffrey Plowman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44616673493247,"sku":"9781526718938","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_93b5facf-a546-4c2d-846f-eaf88b5544a1.jpg?v=1703021652","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/monte-cassino-jeffrey-plowman-9781526718938","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
